Pause on lost focus woes. - karry - 11-29-2016
Here's the rub : i play mostly in fullscreen mode. So when i alt-tab out of the game window the game keeps running. But, if i check the "pause on lost focus" (or press F10 manually) - when i alt-tab the game stops...but the window focus doesnt switch. So i get stuck watching the paused game screen. And if i alt-tabbed a few times i cant even F10 my way back into the game ! So the only way in those cases is ctrl-alt-del myself back into task manager (even ctrl-shift-esc doesnt work). So what i do is generally press "+" or "Home" to call up game menu, alt-tab to main dolphin window, and press the pause button from there. Not the best way, i think you'll agree.
Any suggestions or some incredibly obscure dolphin\win7 functionality i havent discovered yet that can help me ?

Does this happen on the latest Dolphin 5.0 dev build?

Well, according to his profile one assumes that he hasn´t even tried 5.0 stable...

Yes, 5.0-1354. But it happens on all revisions. Just tried 4.0-1222 and 3.5-336 - same thing.
